1126. John Ruskin and the Lakeland Arts Revival, 1880-1920
£14.99
Sara E. Haslam
Between about 1880 and the end of the First World War there was a widespread revival in traditional handcrafts in the Lake District. Inspired initially by the teachings of John Ruskin, pioneers of the revival established workshops in Keswick, Kendal and elsewhere in which textiles, woodwork and metalwork were made by hand by local craftsmen and women. Their output formed the basis of a series of successful art exhibitions, notably those at Kendal in 1891 and 1899. . . . more
